Travel to the EU from Jordan

For travelling to the EU, Jordanian citizens need a visa. Depending on the destination, either a Schengen visa or a national visa is required.

The Schengen visa is a short-stay authorisation allowing holders to stay in or transit through the countries in the Schengen area without being subjected to border checks. With a Schengen visa, you may enter one country and travel freely throughout the Schengen area (repetition – see first sentence) which covers 26 countries without border controls between them. These countries (the "Schengen States") are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

For a description of how and where to apply for a Schengen visa, please refer to the information sheet for applicants in either Arabic or English.

For travelling to EU Member States currently not in the Schengen area (Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Ireland, Romania, and United Kingdom) a national visa is required. For information about national visa application procedures, please refer to the relevant embassy or consulate of the country you plan to visit.

Erasmus+ is the European Union’s programme for education, training, youth and sport. Between 2014 and 2020, it will provide opportunities for four million people to study, train and gain life experience abroad.

Erasmus+ replaces a number of older programmes, including an international exchange programme called Erasmus Mundus.

See the Erasmus+ web portal’s Resources section for information about linguistic support, documents for applicants and the management of proposals.
